RE: Cult?
yup..I agree..this is a 'club'..not a cult.
To misquote the Breakfast Club:
"It's a social club...demented and sad...but social.".
They're no more a cult than the gaming club I belonged to in college, or the sci-fi club I belonged to that has an annual convention every year.
Rev. Jim Jones...Elizabeth Clare Prophet..Rev. Sun Myung Moon--those are 'typically defined' cults. Draw what you will from them; I don't personally like that word (and I'm one of the resident Evangelical Christians here). Rather, I prefer to say that they have 'beliefs different from my own'. Even Brandon here (sorry to take your name in vain dude) belongs to a group typically called a 'cult' by many.
RE: Cult?
Just for the sake of argument ... consider rephrasing that statement like:
If we categorize Jesus or Joseph Smith followers, such as these, as a cult, then we must also consider Christians or Mormons as a group of cult. We can then group Jews and Muslims as cults too. {A cult of Yaweh and Mohammed followers}
Being extreme followers of Prophets does not mean they are a religion.

Cult?
If we categorize Jedi fans, such as these, as a cult, then we must also consider Trekkies as a group of cult. We can then group Fraternities and Sororities as cults too. {A cult of Alcohol beverages}
Being extreme fans of Star War does not mean they are a cult. It just means they need to find a friend or a job.
